DEBBIE
One Sunday morning I received an urgent telephone call, Carol I need your help, my chow is having puppies and two of them are already dead, I agreed to go and see what I could do and they came to fetch me.
On arrival at there home, there was their Tammy in a hole she had dug in the garden, giving birth to puppy no 4, Yes 2 of them were dead and I carefully took three away from her, and then helped her give birth to the forth puppy the third was o.k. And she had cleaned him up and had pushed him to one side while she delivered the next, I helped Tammy deliver 8 puppies, 3 of which were dead, they were all lovely healthy little chow puppies, and of the five alive there were 3 males and 2 females.
I kept in touch and went up to their home every day for the first week to see how the puppies were doing, They were fine and Tammy had settled down well and was having no problems feeding them, When they were into their 2nd week of life I only went up on a Sunday, and was examining the puppies when I noticed that one of the little bitches did not have a foot, I could not believe my eyes, that foot was there when she was born so what could have happened, Tammy had her bed in a small underground cellar, which had a very heavy door to it, all I could think was that the door had slammed shut on the puppies foot and had amputated it. I questioned the owners and they had not noticed anything, only going in to feed Tammy and see that the puppies were alright, I asked the maid if she had heard anything and she said the puppies cried all the time, I then decided to take Tammy home with me and her puppies and see that they were properly cared for.
The puppies and Tammy thrived with the extra care I gave to them and I decided that the little bitch with the missing foot had to have extra special attention, At six weeks old I found new homes for them and the little bitch went to a extra special home, with a friend of mine, whom I knew would love and care for her as she would if it were her own baby. This puppy was called Debbie, and yes she was cared for, and loved and went with her owner every where she went, Her missing foot did not bother her, and she was able to jump onto the beds as well as play with their seven other dogs, Debbie was spayed so as to avoid any unwanted pregnancy when she was 8 months old. And she blossomed, and grew and grew, she is a stunning dog, in all ways with a wonderful temperament and I just want to thank Nancy and Meisie for loving her.
